    If you cant do that shit in your head then please delete your fucking Slashdot account.

  2. You are a dumbass.

  3. Big difference. That phone is not really logging everything you do. These chat speakers are. Every fucking syllable is recorded and analyzed for whatever reason.

  4. Yeah. After a test to see how inaudible I could get my voice before Alexa stopped activating and seeing an article on how people talk to their Alexa it was enough to turn me off. You can't write an article like that unleas you are storing and analyzing everything that everyone says. Way too much fucking power. I believe it was lamenting how many people talked to Alexa because they needed a friend. We are going over the deep end people.

    Because they would go out of business. Internet access is a societal norm. Fuck with people's Netflix and see what happens.

    I hate Facebook, and there are many problems being caused by it so I'm going to join the political lynch party on this one and call it their fault. The end will justify the means.

    Most people do not understand this key fact of institutional nature and this is the reason why major projects failing also leads to promotions for the people responsible for the fail.

    Then there are the system admins/engineers that get lauded for putting out fires...fires they created. Management is clueless....they just know that when disaster strikes this guy always has an answer (because he created the mess to begin with).

    If I have to do shit work I make sure to gather evidence in the form of emails from the said people who are dictating/derailing that I not do it right, before starting.

    They literally have nowhere to go. Expect more of this batshit prosthelizing.

  15. Re: What's really sad on Google Wants To Kill the URL (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    How about we stop fucking registering lookalike bullshit domain names? We don't need a massive global domain name registration infrastructure anymore. It is actually more difficult for users to find a reasonably priced registration reseller so the theory of competition has crumbled since most people are likely to get duped and pay too much. Besides, we have the ability to recognize spoofs with spell checking and machine learning. My suggestion would be to aggregate the registration back to the registrars and apply the above mentioned technology to stopping hucksters from registering domain names. Oh...and provide free high level certificates to non-commercial sites so everyone can reason about what fucking site they are on.

    Bookmarks were too cumbersome. People threw in the towel a long time ago and just signed up for Facebook.

    Mod +11. Fortunately users sort of understand URLs enough to where if you messed with them it would be the same reaction Microsoft always got when they tried to get rid of the start menu. Thank God users are dumb and stubborn animals sometimes.

    Uh. News flash. It's even more rare outside the US. McAfee killed his neighbor and then ran for president for fucks sake.

    Funny. VIP PIA is not stored in financial system databases. The accounts are there but no compromising information is stored...such as SSN or address. Regular Joe Plebian Cardholder is subject to government compliance and Patriot Act regulations but not important people. Thier privacy is prioritized and valued.

    Disclaimer. I used to be the keeper of millions of Mastercard account cardholders' data.

  24. Software is constantly worked or it dies. The subscription model is what people want. And it's cheaper and more profitable and results in better software. Shave your neck and get a life.

    This is a good thing. We need external pressure to get our OS updated. I worked at a Corp that is still shipping the original Windows 10 build because they are too stupid to realize that there are about ten versions of the OS since that build. Derpa Derpa Windows 10 is the latest. Nope. Windows 10 version 1803 build 17134 you mediocre flaming dumb fucks.
